mask, pascola, Character: Pascola; Dance: Pascola, One of the most unique dances of Mexico is performed by the masked pascola, the "old man of the fiesta." The dancer is trained from childhood by older pascolas so that the tradition may be carried from generation to generation. The mask worn by the pascola dancer at its best is an outstanding work of art with universal appeal. It is relatively small and usually represents a human-like being. However, there can appear on occasion a goat, dog or monkey image. Horse or goat hair is attached to form the beard and eyebrows. Although most pascola masks are black and white or no color at all, you find some with bright colors among the Mayos of Sonera and Sinaloa. A small cross appears on the forehead and sometimes on the chin. Without it, you do not have a traditional pascola mask. The cross as a symbol obviously is European in origin, but is looked upon by the Indians as a sign of protection. Across the forehead and down the sides are often painted various patterns in the forms of animals, reptiles, flowers, leaves and stars. The Yaquis and Mayos of Sonora often finish their masks with a frame or border of simple geometric design., Painted mask with long black hair attached. The mask is painted black with white accents and a red mouth. Long black hair is attached above the eyes and below the chin of the mask and hangs about chin-length.
